At PCBC (http://www.pcbc.com), June 28-29, in San Diego, Covestro LLC will take panelized construction to the next level with the introduction of PUReWall™, a cost-effective, high-performance, insulated structural wall panel.

PUReWall™ panels are constructed at a panelization facility using conventional wood frames and polyurethane-based insulation that is both continuous and between framing. The rigid polyiso board continuous insulation reduces thermal bridging and has an integrated weather resistive barrier that eliminates the need for plastic house wrap. The rigid polyiso board, when combined with a structural closed cell spray polyurethane foam, provides a similar unit shear capacity to continuously sheathed wood structural panels.

PUReWall™ panels also provide the following advantages:

Increased R-value and decreased air infiltration, contributing to a higher Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index score

"The PUReWall™ system offers numerous benefits for panelizers, builders and homeowners," says Jim Lambach, manager of Building and Construction, Industrial Marketing, Polyurethanes, Covestro LLC. "By licensing our PUReWall™ technology, panelizers are able to integrate higher levels of functionality and quality in a wall assembly that simplifies on-site construction for builders with less waste, time and cost. The end product meets or exceeds International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2015 requirements, providing a better wall assembly for homeowners."

PUReWall™ panels are available in a range of configurations to meet thermal requirements, with demonstration panels for each located at the Covestro booth:
